INTERVIEW NOTES

What NOT to Say in a Job Interview

Here are some of the don’ts about appearing for an interview:

1. Private information

One of the biggest mistakes that people commit in an interview is giving out private information when it is not needed, or even when it is simply not asked.

2. Your weaknesses

Do not confess to any weaknesses that may put you in a bad light. If it were so bad, the interviewer would have already noticed it and not called you for an interview.  

3. Past problems

Another major problem is created when people speak about the problems that they encountered while they were in their previous jobs.  Also, do not try to tell them about any personal likes or dislikes that you may have.  Make sure that you do not talk to them about your past disappointments, or anything negative that you have to tell about your previous organization you worked with.

4. The salary 

Never discuss the salary unless and until you are asked about it. Salary negotiations are always carried out after receiving a job offer.

Therefore, saying the wrong things during the interview might cost you the job, while saying the right things might get you the job.

Additionally,

You might be thinking of some tricky questions asked during your job interview and how to handle these questions. 

Ask experienced people who can suggest great answers to tough interview questions –

What to say in an interview: 

When asked about your weakness (or when asked about weaknesses)?

About yourself (or when they ask you to tell about yourself)?

What to say in an interview if you were fired?

What to Bring to an Interview:

When it comes to getting ready for the interview, make sure that you have the following at hand:

1. Folders for holding all documents, from education to job profile.  

2. You should also carry at least two pens.

3. Make sure that you have at least two copies of your resume.

4. If you are using any references, make sure that you have their contact details with you. Try to create a document that simplifies the connection between the company and your references.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you."

But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS.
